Balushahi



Ingredients :

2 cups ......................maida
1/2 tsp.......................baking powder
1 pinch......................baking soda
2 tbsp.......................whipped curd
4 tbsp...................... warm ghee
a pinch.....................salt
2 cups ....................sugar
1 cup.....................water
1/2 tsp...................cardamom powder
1 tbsp.....................almond slivers
oil for deep frying





Method :


Mix maida, baking powder, soda, curd and ghee gently with fingers till they resemble bread crumbs.

Now add just enough water and knead a soft but firm dough.

Cover it with wet muslin cloth and keep aside for at least 1 hour.

Make sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water.

When the syrup boils add cardamom powder and boil till it thickens a bit.

Now in a kadhai heat oil .

Make lemon sized balls of the dough and press them to form a pedha shape.

Make a depression in the middle with your thumb.

Deep fry these badushahs in oil on low flame for 10 to 12 minutes.

This will ensure that they become crisp and are cooked properly.

Fry till they are golden brown in colour.

Then drain out the oil with a slotted spoon and drop them in prepared syrup.

Let the badushah absorb syrup for about 5 to 10 minutes.

In the meanwhile fry the next batch of the sweets.

Remove the badushah from syrup and arrange them on the plate for the syrup to dry.

Sprinkle almont slivers on top and when completely cold store them in airtight container.
